The IVA Technique

"Our goal is to train voices to sing in
a free and natural manner, smoothly,
from the bottom of the range to the top with no breaks or sudden changes in quality"
The IVA technique draws its foundation from the principles of singing established in the 17th and 18th centuries by the Old Italian School of Singing. Our mission is to train voices to sing freely and naturally, seamlessly transitioning from the bottom of the range to the top without breaks or abrupt changes in quality. This technique enables singers to access all dynamics with tonal clarity and flexibility. Training with IVA enhances a singer's range, endurance, stamina, breath control, resonance, vocal strength, and overall vocal quality across all musical styles—all while avoiding fatigue or vocal damage. We achieve these results by teaching singers to balance airflow with intrinsic muscular resistance, all within a resting laryngeal posture.
The Institute for Vocal Advancement (IVA) is a global organization dedicated to providing exceptional vocal education and a certification program for professional singing instructors. At IVA, we aim to empower singers and vocal teachers to use their voices to their fullest potential in the healthiest and most efficient way. Additionally, we are committed to educating and producing world-class voice instructors by upholding the highest standards for teaching singing.
We continuously refine our program based on the latest research in vocal science. Furthermore, we offer education in essential aspects of singing and performance to address the diverse needs and interests of singers and voice instructors worldwide.
At IVA, we foster a sense of community, trust, and transparency, positioning ourselves as partners, mentors, and a continuous support system for our students and teachers. Our approach to vocal technique does not center on any single individual. Instead, it evolves through our relentless pursuit of truth and knowledge about the human voice, ensuring our methods remain grounded in scientific research and practical application.
